About Dr. Jamie Hsu

About Jamie

I am just like many people of my generation who went through higher education, immigrated to the USA, established a career, and raised a family. What made me a bit different might be the broad interests I had and the different types of careers I pursued.

I was born in China, grew up in Taiwan, and got my advanced degrees in USA. In my life with GM, I was involved in manufacturing development, product research, technology implementation, global partners collaboration, and strategy formulation.  After the corporate c-suit life, I taught MBA and EMBA, and founded a few non-profits to serve the communities.

Throughout all these changes in my educational fields, job changes, cultural assimilation, and dealing with diverse people, I must continuously learn and adapt to changes. This gave me some insights in many aspects of life. I have been sharing such learning in my speeches, mentoring, and consulting work. I sincerely hope I can become better and better every day, and I can also make someone’s life better somehow.

就像我這一代的許多人一樣，我們在完成高等教育之後，移民美國，然後就順理成章的，成就了事業和建立了家庭。我這一生，擁有廣泛的興趣和多元化的職場生涯，這些都讓我有些與眾不同。

我出生於中國，成長於台灣，然後在美國獲得高級學位。 在通用汽車公司（GM）的職業生涯中，我曾參與了製造開發、產品研究、技術實施、全球合作夥伴，以及戰略制定等多項計劃。經過多年的高階主管生涯之後，我開始教授MBA和EMBA課程，並且創立了一些非營利組織來服務社區。

為了適應在教育學習、職場生涯、文化融合等各方面的變遷，更要與來自不同背景的人相處，我必須持續不斷的努力學習，和面對改變。這些都為我的人生發展下了最佳的註解。我經常透過演講、指導和諮詢工作的機會，分享這些心得，衷心希望自己每天都能變得更好，也可以經由各種方式去改善別人的生活。
